Recap week of Feb 15-21 2009 – FAIL
As you can probably tell by my lack of updates, my goals for the week of February 15-21 weren’t completed. Actually it turned out to be a very long week, more like the week of February 15-28. Let’s see what I did and did not accomplish.
Sign up for twitter – Actually I did this, I am here: https://twitter.com/ronmjtd
Comment on some great blogs — Nope didn’t do this yet, I did some reading though so I don’t know why I didn’t comment.
Signup for mybloglog — you can find me here: My Blog Log Membership and My Blog Log Community.
Pay a few outstanding bills –YES, this one was important. I got a cheque for $2000 and I spent the greater part of 1K on my old overdue bills, I would have spent more but I wanted to save some money for my car payment and my rent, which I am glad I did because my next cheque doesn’t come for another week or so.
Call credit card companies and let them know I’ve paid — I tried to do this, some I got through and some I didn’t however they stopped calling me so I think they are happy again.
Set up a weekly budget – I haven’t done this yet.
Update blog as frequently as possible – Nope, I’ve only done 1 post since my last update. Big fail. I will do better than this.
Add statistics – By this I just meant analytics and such to the site, and I did this.
Join various blog communities – Somewhat similar to the statistics – I don’t believe I’ve really completed this goal yet.
Add the dollar times progress bars – Yes, I did this as you can tell.
Start jogging – Nope didn’t do this.
Add some cool widgets to the site – I guess these are okay.
Bring some people to the blog – I’ve seen a few people here and I’ve even got a comment. So I guess this has been done.
Search for spread sheet templates – No, not enough time.
I am going to give myself a 7.5 out of 14, wow that’s only 54%. Hopefully tomorrow I will set a March goal as well as a weekly goal for next week. To be honest I haven’t even finished setting up my Google docs to use to track my spending and that only takes a few minutes. I don’t think I have completely failed though, I mean 7.5 is a pass, and I can only go up from here right?? Right??

Hi Ron,
Don’t beat yourself up about it. You what I noticed when reading your list? That maybe you took on a bit too much for just 1 week. I mean, I’m guessing you also have a job besides all these things you do. So my tip is maybe to start smaller next week. They say (”they” being: the efficiency gurus) say you should do 3 IMPORTANT things everday and that that in essence is enough. Then when you’ve gotten those 3 most important things out of the way, then you can do the smaller things. Try is out.
Take care, DH
